relevanttopics. Levac et al. [1] also suggest that the researcher keep in mind the purpose of the scopingstudy. Put forth by Arksey & O’Malley [4], there are three main purposes a scoping study maybe undertaken: 1) determine the extent, range, and nature of research activity, 2) to assess for thenecessity of a systematic literature review, and 3) disseminate the findings of the scoping review[4, p. 21]. As I was interested in learning more about the experiences of Asian engineering studentsin the United States and understanding the current state of knowledge in describing suchexperiences in the engineering education context, I found intriguing that the gauging for the needof a SLR was part of the SR process. In the case of Asians and
]. This extension further highlights the importance of non-traditional learning experiences in developing entrepreneurially minded engineering students prepared to apply their knowledge to global contexts. esearch shows that short-term international experiences are motivating, perspective-shiftingR[6], and effective in increasing students' cultural awareness[7]. For engineering students, study abroad programs significantly enhance technical skills, global perspectives, and motivation, leading to greater engagement in coursework[8]. Short-term study abroad programs have also been shown to improve motivation among financially at-risk and underrepresented community college students, highlighting their potential

Of these, 65% had a steel structure in mind andused GenAI for the write-up, while the remaining students relied on GenAI to select a structurefor them. As a result, 19% of the submissions focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which mayreflect a bias in the AI’s suggestions.
